The rice in their veggie burger is SO good…

Our food was so terrible. One of the orders of fries had SO much hair attached (like wrapped around it) that it looked like a clogged drain was thrown in the fryer - I wish I was joking - and the chicken was overcooked, rubbery, and bland.The service was barely even service… what bartender doesn’t ask if you want another round?!We left severely disappointed with no plans on returning.Lots of sports on tv though if you’re into just that!

Went the day before St Patrick’s day. Great vibe all around, crowd aged 22-45ish, everyone getting along, wanting to be a part of what was going on. Karaoke came and set up around 830 which was a surprise and lit the place up even more. Bartenders were super nice, didn’t have to go out of your way to get service, they served in order of arrival which was refreshing, and impressive given how populated the bar was.

On a street of (generally) overpriced and pretentious restaurants, Bad Albert's is welcomed relief. The food is great and even on the busiest of nights comes out quick, hot and delicious. I regularly crave the cheesesteak. Great place to watch some sports and chat with other locals. I've always gotten good service and the owner is a gem who knows his regulars but also treats a new guest with just as much love and respect. Don't sleep on this place, and get the fuggin cheesesteak.

Good beer selection, and Happy Hour on a Sunday afternoon was really nice! I strongly recommend the Wonton Tacos and the Pork Sliders.

So I was a-little timid about trying the bar food, because, well bar food! But the cooks there are phenomenal! Thank you Juan! Everything tastes, super fresh and flavorful, and I always leave with a happy belly with no tummy ache! (Also, they come up with new specials all the time and everything has been amazing!) All of the bartenders are very friendly, and have a great sense of humor, including the owner! He definitely goes above and beyond, and is always in a positive mood!(: The ambience is set up a certain way, where it's cozy, almost reminds me of how a saloon would be back in the good old days, but then also has a lot of modern look to it, and of course, plenty of TVs to watch any and all sports! They have live bands, pretty regularly, they do karaoke, also regularly. They also have music playing from the stereo most of the time; But if you ever get sick of a station, you can always politely request some different tunes, and they will be happy to oblige! Shout out to Cory, Gregory, Arron, Juan and the rest of the amazing team!! You guys are awesome, please keep doing what you're doing!
